WHAT IT DOES

What metaAds_list_ads does on ScopeGate

AI agents call metaAds_list_ads to retrieve information from ScopeGate without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.

RISK

Why metaAds_list_ads is rated Low

This tool queries and retrieves existing ad data from a Meta Ads account without creating, modifying, or deleting anything. It is a passive read-only operation that has minimal security risk—the worst outcome is unauthorized visibility into ad account details. The low severity reflects that information disclosure about ads is generally less critical than financial, destructive, or write operations.

From the tool's definition Tool name 'metaAds_list_ads' and description 'List ads for an ad account' indicate a retrieval operation with no side effects. The verb 'list' is a typical Read operation.
